IT Professionals Day is an opportunity to recognize the people whose expertise helps keep organizations connected, secure, and operating efficiently. At Umatilla Electric Cooperative, our IT team plays an essential role in supporting employees, protecting critical systems, and helping ensure our members continue to receive dependable service.

UEC’s IT team works every day to keep our technology infrastructure functioning smoothly. They also play a vital role in cybersecurity, continuously monitoring systems, addressing vulnerabilities, and taking steps to protect the cooperative and its members from evolving digital threats. As technology becomes increasingly central to how we work and serve our community, that responsibility has never been more important.

“Technology touches nearly every part of UEC’s operations, so keeping our systems dependable and secure is a responsibility we take seriously,” said Adelaide Zumwalt, manager of information technology. “Our team is constantly solving problems, anticipating challenges, and looking for ways to strengthen the systems our employees and members rely on. We’re proud of the work they do and the difference it makes across the cooperative.”

UEC is pleased to recognize our IT professionals and thank them for the expertise and dedication they bring to the cooperative each day. From supporting employees with everyday technology needs to strengthening cybersecurity and helping coordinate major projects like our headquarters transition, their knowledge, dedication, and behind-the-scenes efforts are an important part of UEC’s ability to serve our members.

Happy IT Professionals Day to the team that helps keep UEC connected and secure.
